CAMPAIGN REVIEW
Pros:
- Having not played a Call of Duty game properly in around 3 years, it was undeniably great fun to return to the familiar and still incredibly reliable gunplay and the over-the-top gung-ho spectacle of the proceedings.
- Multiple dialogue options and gameplay affecting choices are welcome (though not as effective as in Black Ops II). Substantial time spent in the hub/base area to learn more about the characters.
- A couple of genuinely great missions. Most notably 'Brick in the Wall'.
Cons:
- Though most likely due to COVID interference, there is a sense of some cut corners and ideas that never fully materialised e.g. the two Operation side missions.
- Even with the couple of standout missions and reliably solid gameplay, the campaign certainly isn't one of the franchise's best.
- Actual dialogue for the protagonist would have made the multiple dialogue options more immersive and it would have been nice to have seen Sam Worthington return to the role of Mason.
